One character in this work is asked to imitate the month of February, and later explains that a character he calls Semiramis has taken the place of his dead mother whom he let die alone in a ditch. An opaquely delivered backdrop implies that Paris collapses four hundred thousand years ago, leaving only a lullaby. One character in this work berates the (*) Colonel for dropping cigarette butts on the floor, and earlier flirted with a photo-engraver she mistook for a doctor. A couple in this work recite a poem about rotting together before they jump out of a window into the water, and this play ends with a deaf Orator delivering the Old Man's garbled message to the Emperor. For 10 points, name this Eugene Ionesco play in which an invisible crowd sits in the titular pieces of furniture.
